Members of the New Carlisle City Council voted on Tuesday, February 17th to discontinue funding for the WestCAT bus service that has served western Clark County since April of 2013. The service for this year was dependent upon positive votes by Enon Village Council, Mad River Township Trustees and the City of New Carlisle. Both the township and the village did approve funding in late 2014, however the presentation to the city was delayed until this month.

The City of New Carlisle has placed a .5% income tax on the May ballot in hopes of having voters approve the increase to allow the city to have police protection. Back in November, the city saw voters reject a half percent earned income tax that would have provided funding for police protection and street repairs. This levy will be for police only.
